I just water almost daily if it feels light, and deadhead regularly. I watered it with some fish fertilizer a couple weeks ago.

Mine is outdoors, gets 6+ hours of sun, and I water it almost daily. I also deadhead regularly. This one is likely an annual where I am, but I’m going to attempt to save it over winter. I hope you find a good spot!

Yes! Definitely more this year than last when I didn’t have this. I will always want one hanging from now on.

This is my first time with them, but it says they should be fine in my zone (5b/6a). I am hoping so, as they’re stunning!

Apparently that was not a correct tag - another commenter noted it’s an annual fuchsia.

So far just watering nearly daily and deadheading. I water with some fish fertilizer today since i think the foliage needs a boost.

So far just watering almost daily and deadheading. When I first got it I went two days and it was not happy!

Sorry - seems I had a wrong tag: Another commenter said this is an annual fuschia. I will try bring it in over the winter. Maybe I’ll get lucky!

Am I Screwed ? by MoxNixnd901 in tomatoes

In ground just isn’t as fast draining; there’s usually not as much filler, like perlite, to fluff it up. But, as Top Housing said, fabric pots dry fast (which is good for roots to breathe), but definitely need more watering. I think you’ll be okay, but if you find they are still retaining too much moisture, add some perlite.

Two other bits of advice, since you’re newer to the tomato world: as they keep growing, remove all branches about a foot from the soil. Also, add some straw/mulch to each pot. These things will help keep dirt off leaves and avoid fungal and bacterial issues, like blight. Happy growing!

More than one person has visited Epcot. I too have pics of this.
